HEALTH AND P.E. Enjoying the scenery are Mr. Lentz and Mr. Mathis. Helping out with baseball and football, Mr. Mathis was a great help to both sports. Keeping in shape, Ms. Veitch leads the freshman girls in aerobics. Aerobics was one of the more popular classes in P.E. this year. Sitting patiently while getting his blood pressure checked is Mr. Zupan. Teaching photography was also one of Mr. Zupan's classes this year. Illustrating a point is Ms. Houston. Starting an aerobics dance program kept Ms. Houston busy this year. Regular exercise and a balanced diet are a key to a healthy person, according to school nurse Cindy Palmer. Mrs. Palmer has been a school nurse for two years and enjoys working with the teenage population. I like learning more about teenagers and trying to give them healthful knowledge that’s needed in building a healthful and dynamic soci- ety.” Mr. Oosterman is another healthful person who teaches boys P.E. 'I try to teach my students how to live a healthier life and it seems to be working because the students are becoming more con- cerned about their own health and well being. Mr. Zupan says he not only encourages students that good health is important, but also encourages other teachers, too. Mr. Zupan says students care more about health than believed. The forces in- fluencing poor health arc tough to deal with. I believe, however, that most young people care more about their health than we may think. There are other members of this robust depart- ment who equally believe in sound nutrition. Ms. Houston started an aerobic dance program this year and also helped in track. Mr. Mathis took on baseball and football duties along with his weight training. Last but not least, is Ms. Darcee Veitch who started our freshman girls off right in P.E. All of the health and P.E. teachers are a credit to helping us learn healthful lifestyles and positive self images. 114-Health And P.E.

Monte Dehlinger I never wanted to be anything but a teacher. Jane Demetrakos I always wanted to teach. 116-Business What profession did you first want to be in? Cathie Bunnell 1 wanted to be and was a secretary. BUSINESS niques in typing II and IV and teaches the basics in keeping track of records for personal use. Mrs. Demetrakos says she enjoys teaching Typing IV the most. It must be true; after all, she has been teaching for 15 years. Anyone who can keep cool after teaching for 23 years has got to have a lot of patience. Mr. Monte Dehlinger has been doing just this. He teaches Typing I and II, marketing, and personal finance. What's more is that he enjoys them all. When asked what he thought about teaching he replied with a smile, Becoming bald wasn't natu- ral. Do ir or die! Mr. Dehlinger used interesting techniques this year on students like Shon O’Donnell. Smile, accounting isn’t so hard. Mrs. Bunnell didn’t let all the questions bother her. A lot of students have benefitted from taking business classes, stated Mrs. Bunnell. Business classes help prepare students for jobs they may encounter with a high school diploma. Basic train- ing in secretarial, computer use, and management positions are taught in these classes. The classes also provide a firm base for more intensive study if a student decides to pursue a college degree in a business or secretarial field. Mrs. Cathie Bunnell, who had been teaching for 11 years, instructs accounting, word and data pro- cessing, and clerical office practice. She is also Mazama's Future Business Leaders of America ad- visor. This position requires a lot of extra time on Mrs. Bunnell's part, as she chaperones the members to local, district, and state competitions. Knowledge in typing and recordkeeping can be very useful after graduation. Mrs. Jane Demetrakos helps students develop and improve their tech-
